- Yizwa, Israyeli: uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu, uJehova, munye; wothanda uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho, nangawo wonke umphefumulo wakho, nangawo onke amandla akho.
- Nokho nginguJehova uNkulunkulu wakho
kwasezweni laseGibithe;
ngaphandle kwami awazi Nkulunkulu,
nomsindisi akakho ngaphandle kwami. - UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe; wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane.
- Uthembekile uNkulunkulu, okungaye nabizelwa ekuhlanganyeleni neNdodana yakhe uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu.
- Sibusisiwe isizwe esiNkulunkulu waso nguJehova,
isizwe asikhethileyo sibe yifa lakhe. - Ngiyakuzenza mkhulu, ngizingcwelise, ngizazise emehlweni ezizwe eziningi, zazi ukuthi nginguJehova.
- Kodwa, bathandekayo, maningakhohlwa lento inye yokuthi kuyo iNkosi usuku lunye lunjengeminyaka eyinkulungwane nokuthi iminyaka eyinkulungwane injengosuku lunye.
- Umusa weNkosi uJesu Kristu, nothando lukaNkulunkulu, nokuhlangana kukaMoya oNgcwele makube nani nonke. Amen.
- Akube yilowo nalowo azithobe phansi kwamandla ombuso, ngokuba akukho mandla ombuso angaveli kuNkulunkulu; lawa akhona amiswe nguNkulunkulu.
- Umhlaba ungokaJehova nokugcwala kwawo,
izwe nabakhileyo kulo. - UNkulunkulu wathi: “Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu, basifuze, babuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezinkomo, nomhlaba wonke, nezilwanyana zonke ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.”
- Ngokuba ngubani onguNkulunkulu
ngaphandle kukaJehova,
ngubani oyidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na? - Ngiyakujabula, ngethabe kuwe;
ngiyakudumisa igama lakho wena oPhezukonke. - Uyambula okujulileyo nokufihlakeleyo;
uyazi okusebumnyameni,
nokukhanya kuhlezi kuye. - Kepha uNkulunkulu wethu usezulwini;
wenza konke akuthandayo. - USomandla singemqonde;
mkhulu ngamandla nangokwahlulela;
ngokulunga kwakhe okukhulu akoni lutho. - Ziphingi, anazi yini ukuthi ukuthanda izwe kungubutha kuNkulunkulu na? Ngakho lowo othanda ukuba ngumhlobo wezwe, umi eyisitha sikaNkulunkulu.
- Ngokuba iminyaka eyinkulungwane emehlweni akho injengezolo selidlulile,
nanjengomlindo ebusuku. - Yiyona ewakhayo amakamelo ayo aphezulu ezulwini,
isekele igobela lawo emhlabeni;
yiyona ewabizayo amanzi olwandle,
iwathululele ebusweni bomhlaba;
nguJehova igama layo. - Ngase ngizwa izwi elikhulu livela esihlalweni sobukhosi, lithi: “Bheka, itabernakele likaNkulunkulu likubantu; uyakuhlala nabo, babe ngabantu bakhe, yena uNkulunkulu abe nabo, azesule izinyembezi zonke emehlweni abo; ukufa akusayikuba khona; nokudabuka, nokukhala, nobuhlungu akusayikuba khona; ngokuba okokuqala kudlulile.”
- Ngiyakulingcwelisa igama lami elikhulu elihlanjalaziwe phakathi kwezizwe, enilihlambalazile phakathi kwazo, izizwe zazi ukuthi nginguJehova, isho iNkosi uJehova, lapho ngiyakungcweliseka ngani emehlweni abo.
- Bheka, kwavela izwi ezulwini, lithi: “Lo uyiNdodana yami ethandekayo engithokozile ngayo.”
- Wena uyakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu munye na? Wenza kahle; namademoni ayakholwa, athuthumele.
- Lokhu kuyizwi likaJehova kaZerubabele lokuthi: ‘Kungabi ngempi, kungabi ngamandla, kepha kube ngomoya wami kuphela,’ usho uJehova Sebawoti.
- Futhi ukuyithanda yona ngenhliziyo yonke, nangengqondo yonke, nangamandla onke, nokuthanda umakhelwane njengalokhu umuntu ezithanda yena kudlula yonke iminikelo yokushiswa nemihlatshelo.
